Phys.org / Generative AI for polymer design passes lab tests with a new dielectric material
The words on this page mean something because they are assembled in a particular order and follow the complex rules of grammar and syntax. Creating new chemical polymers follows a similar kind of structure, with rules about ...
Phys.org / Laser-modified graphene enables molecule-thick films to grow only where needed
Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto University have developed a new method based on laser modification, which allows metal-organic materials to be grown locally one molecule-thick layer at a time. The method ...
Medical Xpress / Food fortification already prevents 7 billion nutrient gaps annually, but we could triple its impact
Fortifying staple foods with essential vitamins and minerals is a cheap and effective way to ensure that people have access to nutrients that may be lacking in their normal diets. These efforts have countered debilitating ...
Medical Xpress / How some autoantibodies contribute to clots: The C4BP link and a path to treatment
Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered a missing link behind the harmful effects of autoantibodies linked to blood clots, pregnancy complications and other inflammatory conditions, according to a new study published ...
Phys.org / No delta left behind? Study finds adaptation to rising seas is possible in most deltas... for now
Around the world, in nearly every delta, people can adapt to rising sea levels using today's technological capabilities, materials, and space, according to researchers from Utrecht University and Deltares. In their new study—the ...
Phys.org / Microtubules discovered to play an active role in correctly distributing chromosomes during cell division
Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive structural supports. But a new study reveals they play a far more active signaling role. The findings, published ...
Phys.org / Webb and Hubble share the most comprehensive view of Saturn to date
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have teamed up to capture new views of Saturn, revealing the planet in strikingly different ways. Observing in complementary wavelengths of light, the two space ...
Medical Xpress / A new immunotherapy target? How SRC-3 in Tregs may reshape solid-tumor treatment
In 2023, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine led by the late Dr. Bert O'Malley discovered that the steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) in immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) plays a decisive role in shaping ...
Medical Xpress / New COVID 'Cicada' variant is spreading—what experts want you to know
Another new COVID variant is starting to spread. Health officials say the variant—known as BA.3.2 or "Cicada"—has been quietly circulating for years but is now being detected more often in the United States and around the ...
Phys.org / Radio signals at the edge of extreme stars come from far beyond their surfaces
Pulsars are ultra-dense, rapidly spinning, and highly magnetized remnants of dead stars. They act like cosmic lighthouses, sending out regular pulses of radio waves and sometimes gamma rays in beams that sweep across the ...
Phys.org / The earliest dogs in Europe: 14,200-year-old DNA helps reveal their identity
An international team of researchers led by the Francis Crick Institute, the University of East Anglia and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology has found that dogs were domesticated more than 14,000 years ...
Medical Xpress / 3D-printed ATLAS platform helps model cancer cell clusters behind metastasis
Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part because researchers lack reliable ways to recreate the conditions cancer cells encounter as they ...
